"The events in the Kursk or Belgorod regions allow us to set up a kind of laboratory experiment. While the repressive machine of the Russian Federation is burning in the bushes, the liberated Russians can come out with flowers to meet the anti-Putin tanks. "Finally, freedom!" Let's wait for such footage. Although it is already obvious that this is impossible," Podolyak said.

They said that at about 8 a.m. Moscow time, up to three hundred Ukrainian troops, supported by 11 tanks and more than 20 armored personnel carriers, attacked the positions of the Russian state border guard units.
